Rune Wisdom: Learn to Use This Ancient Code for Insight, Direction and Divination - Tapa blanda

Once the sacred alphabet of the Germanic people of Northern Europe, Runes are probably more than 2,000 years old. Their name derives from the ancient Gothic Runa, meaning a secret or a mystery. Runes were words of power, once carved on amulets, rings and weapons, and also found as inscriptions on tombstones. The Runes in this kit have a smooth, pebble-like surface, cool to the touch and perfect for the meditative mindset required for Rune-casting. The simple look and natural feel of these Runes echo their powerfully primitive origins. For instance, the first Rune, Fehu, is connected with cattle, and since wealth was measured in the number of cows one possessed, it has an underlying meaning of material wealth. The eleventh Rune, Isa, literally means 'ice', signifying danger and the probability of slipping up. Likewise, the seventeenth Rune, Tiwaz, shares its significance with the North Star as an aid to navigation and charting one's course through life. Each of the Runes is fully described, together with the symbolic images such as the animals, trees, herbs and celestial phenomena associated with them. In addition, methods of laying out, or 'casting' the Runes are described in order to give a full and comprehensive reading to answer any question. The more familiar you are with these stories, characteristics and related concepts, the easier you will find it to read the Runes properly and to use them to inspire your intuition.
